Multiple parapatric pollinators have radiated across a continental fig tree displaying clinal genetic variation - Hui Yu; Enwei Tian; Linna Zheng; Xiaoxia Deng; Yufen Cheng; Lianfu Chen; Wei Wu; Wattana Tanming; Dayong Zhang; Stephen G. Compton; Finn Kjellberg (Molecular Ecology, 2019)
The ways that plant‐feeding insects have diversified are central to our understanding of terrestrial ecosystems. Obligate nursery pollination mutualisms provide highly relevant model systems of how plants and their insect associates have diversified and the over 800 species of fig trees ( Ficus ) allow comparative studies. Fig trees can have one or more pollinating fig wasp species (Agaonidae) that breed within their figs, but factors influencing their number remain to be established. In some widely distributed fig trees, the plants form populations isolated by large swathes of sea, and the different populations are pollinated by different wasp species. Other Ficus species with continuous distributions may present genetic signatures of isolation by distance, suggesting more limited pollinator dispersal, which may also facilitate pollinator speciation. We tested the hypothesis that Ficus hirta , a species for which preliminary data showed genetic isolation by distance, would support numerous pollinator species across its range. Our results show that across its range F. hirta displays clinal genetic variation and is pollinated by nine parapatric species of Valisia . This is the highest number of pollinators reported to date for any Ficus species, and it is the first demonstration of the occurrence of parapatric pollinator species on a fig host displaying continuous genetic structure. Future comparative studies across Ficus species should be able to establish the plant traits that have driven the evolution of pollinator dispersal behaviour, pollinator speciation and host plant spatial genetic structure.

Persistent development of adomavirus and aquareovirus in a novel cell line from marbled eel with petechial skin haemorrhage - Hui‐Yu Pao; Cheng‐Yu Wu; Chiu Ming Wen (Journal of Fish Diseases, 2019)
In Taiwan, a petechial haemorrhage disease associated with mortality has affected marbled eels ( Anguilla marmorata ). The eels were revealed to be infected with adomavirus (MEAdoV, previously recognized as a polyoma‐like virus). In this study, cell line DMEPF‐5 was established from the pectoral fin of a diseased eel. DMEPF‐5 was passaged >70 times and thoroughly proliferated in L‐15 medium containing 2%–15% foetal bovine serum at 20–30°C. Transcripts of neural cell adhesion molecule 1 and nestin genes, and nucleic acids of MEAdoV and a novel reovirus (MERV) in the cells were demonstrated by reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction analysis. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the AdoV LO8 proteins mostly relate to adenovirus adenain, whereas MERV is close to American grass carp reovirus in Aquareovirus G , based on a partial VP2 nucleotide sequence. DMEPF‐5 cells are susceptible to additional viral infection. Taken together, the marbled eels with the haemorrhagic disease have coinfection with MEAdoV and MERV, and the pathogenic role of MEAdoV and MERV warrants research. DMEPF‐5 has gene expression associated with mesenchymal stem and progenitor cells and is the first cell line persistently infected with adomavirus and aquareovirus. DMEPF‐5 can facilitate studies of such viruses and haemorrhagic disease.

The relative importance of space compared to topography increases from rare to common tree species across latitude - Yue‐Hua Hu; Daniel J. Johnson; Xiang‐Cheng Mi; Xu‐Gao Wang; Wan‐Hui Ye; Yi‐De Li; Ju‐Yu Lian; Min Cao (Journal of Biogeography, 2018)
Aim Understanding how spatial distributions of rare and common species are associated with environmental and spatial processes is essential to understanding community assembly. We addressed the following questions: (a) does the relative importance of space and topography vary from rare to common tree species? (b) Are the contributions of topography and space equal? (c) Are the variances explained by topography or space correlated with elevational ranges (ER) at the local scale? (d) Does cell‐size influence those postulated associations? Location China and the Americas. Major taxa studied Tree species. Methods We partitioned the variation in species richness and composition of rare and common tree species by topography and space across a range of extents and grain sizes in eight communities. We calculated contribution ratio ( CR ) between space and topography to quantify their relative importance. We employed Kendall's rank correlation to determine the relation between CR and commonness. Mixed effect models were used to identify the influence of cell‐size on the results. Results The majority of CR values were positively related to increasing commonness, especially for composition. The explained variances by space were always higher than that by topography regardless of commonness. At local scale, variances explained by space or topography were not correlated with ER. Main conclusions Our results indicate that the relative importance of space compared to topography increases from rare to common species across forests. We suggest that future studies of community assembly need to account for both space and topography to adequately describe differences in rare and common species assembly mechanisms at range of spatial extents and grain sizes.

NaCl promotes antibiotic resistance by reducing redox states in Vibrio alginolyticus - Jun Yang; Zao‐Hai Zeng; Man‐Jun Yang; Zhi‐Xue Cheng; Xuan‐Xian Peng; Hui Li (Environmental Microbiology, 2018)
Summary The development of antibiotic resistance in Vibrio alginolyticus represents a threat to human health and fish farming. Environmental NaCl regulation of bacterial physiology is well documented, but whether the regulation contributes to antibiotic resistance remains unknown. To explore this, we compared minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of V. alginolyticus cultured in different media with 0.5%–10% NaCl, and found that the MIC increased as the NaCl concentration increased, especially for aminoglycoside antibiotics. Consistent with this finding, internal NaCl also increased, while intracellular gentamicin level decreased. GC–MS‐based metabolomics showed different distributions of pyruvate cycle intermediates among 0.5%, 4% and 10% NaCl. Differential activity of enzymes in the pyruvate cycle and altered expression of Na(+)‐NQR led to a reducing redox state, characterized by decreased levels of NADH, proton motive force (PMF) and ATP. Meanwhile, NaCl negatively regulated PMF as a consequence of the reducing redox state. These together are responsible for the decreased intracellular gentamicin level with the increased external level of NaCl. Our study reveals a previously unknown redox state‐dependent mechanism regulated by NaCl in V. alginolyticus that impacts antibiotic resistance.

The Earth's natural pulse electromagnetic fields for earthquake time–frequency characteristics: Insights from the EEMD–WVD method - Guo‐Cheng Hao; Yu‐Xiao Bai; Hui Liu; Juan Zhao; Zuo‐Xun Zeng (Island Arc, 2018)
Monitoring the Earth's natural pulse electromagnetic field (ENPEMF) signal is a geomagnetic detection approach for the Earth internal and external studies, and it provides a reference for earthquake prediction. In this paper, the Ensemble Empirical Mode Decomposition–Wigner Ville Distribution (EEMD–WVD) method is used to process the time sequences of the ENPEMF signal detected by GR‐01 receiving devices during the Lushan M S 7.0 earthquake (April 20th, 2013). By obtaining the intrinsic mode function (IMF), the time–frequency–amplitude joint distribution and the energy spectrum of the ENPEMF signal, the suspected anomalies before the earthquake could be shown. The results illustrate the ENPEMF signal before an earthquake and its time–frequency characteristics based on an EEMD–WVD algorithm, proving useful information about the anomalies around the time of the earthquake.

A HOPS protein, CmVps39, is required for vacuolar morphology, autophagy, growth, conidiogenesis and mycoparasitic functions of Coniothyrium minitans - Xiaoxiang Yang; Hui Cui; Jiasen Cheng; Jiatao Xie; Daohong Jiang; Tom Hsiang; Yanping Fu (Environmental Microbiology, 2016)
Summary Coniothyrium minitans is an important sclerotial and hyphal parasite of the plant pathogen Sclerotinia sclerotiorum . Previously, a conidiation‐deficient mutant, ZS‐1N22225, was screened from a T‐DNA insertional library of C. minitans . CmVps39, a homologue of Vam6p/Vps39p that plays a critical role in vacuolar morphogenesis in yeast, was disrupted by a T‐DNA insertion in this mutant. CmVps39 is composed of 1071 amino acids with an amino‐terminal citron homology domain and a central clathrin homology domain, as observed for other Vam6p/Vps39p family proteins. Abnormal fragmented vacuoles were observed in ΔCmVps39 under light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy, and ΔCmVps39 showed impairment in autophagy. ΔCmVps39 also exhibited significantly reduced hyphal development, poor conidiation and decreased sclerotial mycoparasitism. In addition, deletion of CmVps39 affected osmotic adaptation, pH homeostasis and cell wall integrity. Taken together, our results suggest that CmVps39 has an essential function in vacuolar morphology, autophagy, fungal development and mycoparasitism in C. minitans .

(Angiogenesis, 2016)
Abnormal angiogenesis is critical for portal hypertension in cirrhosis. Except for etiological treatment, no efficient medication or regime has been explored to treat the early stage of cirrhosis when angiogenesis is initiated or overwhelming. In this study, we explored an anti-angiogenesis effort through non-cytotoxic drugs octreotide and celecoxib to treat early stage of cirrhotic portal hypertension in an animal model. Peritoneal injection of thioacetamide (TAA) was employed to induce liver cirrhosis in rats. A combination treatment of celecoxib and octreotide was found to relieve liver fibrosis, portal venous pressure, micro-hepatic arterioportal fistulas, intrahepatic and splanchnic angiogenesis. Celecoxib and octreotide exerted their anti-angiogenesis effect via an axis of cyclooxygenase-2/prostaglandin E2/EP-2/somatostatin receptor-2, which consequently down-regulated phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK)–hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α)–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) integrated signaling pathways. In conclusions, combination of celecoxib and octreotide synergistically ameliorated liver fibrosis and portal hypertension of the cirrhotic rats induced by TAA via the inhibition of intrahepatic and extrahepatic angiogenesis. The potential mechanisms behind the regimen may due to the inactivation of p-ERK–HIF-1α–VEGF signaling pathway.

Seasonal responses of terrestrial ecosystem water‐use efficiency to climate change - Mengtian Huang; Shilong Piao; Zhenzhong Zeng; Shushi Peng; Philippe Ciais; Lei Cheng; Jiafu Mao; Ben Poulter; Xiaoying Shi; Yitong Yao; Hui Yang; Yingping Wang (Global Change Biology, 2016)
Ecosystem water‐use efficiency ( EWUE ) is an indicator of carbon–water interactions and is defined as the ratio of carbon assimilation ( GPP ) to evapotranspiration ( ET ). Previous research suggests an increasing long‐term trend in annual EWUE over many regions and is largely attributed to the physiological effects of rising CO 2 . The seasonal trends in EWUE , however, have not yet been analyzed. In this study, we investigate seasonal EWUE trends and responses to various drivers during 1982–2008. The seasonal cycle for two variants of EWUE , water‐use efficiency ( WUE , GPP / ET ), and transpiration‐based WUE ( WUE t , the ratio of GPP and transpiration), is analyzed from 0.5° gridded fields from four process‐based models and satellite‐based products, as well as a network of 63 local flux tower observations. WUE derived from flux tower observations shows moderate seasonal variation for most latitude bands, which is in agreement with satellite‐based products. In contrast, the seasonal EWUE trends are not well captured by the same satellite‐based products. Trend analysis, based on process‐model factorial simulations separating effects of climate, CO 2 , and nitrogen deposition ( NDEP ), further suggests that the seasonal EWUE trends are mainly associated with seasonal trends of climate, whereas CO 2 and NDEP do not show obvious seasonal difference in EWUE trends. About 66% grid cells show positive annual WUE trends, mainly over mid‐ and high northern latitudes. In these regions, spring climate change has amplified the effect of CO 2 in increasing WUE by more than 0.005 gC m −2 mm −1 yr −1 for 41% pixels. Multiple regression analysis further shows that the increase in springtime WUE in the northern hemisphere is the result of GPP increasing faster than ET because of the higher temperature sensitivity of GPP relative to ET . The partitioning of annual EWUE to seasonal components provides new insight into the relative sensitivities of GPP and ET to climate, CO 2, and NDEP .

Feeding ecology of the mud shrimp S olenocera melantho in the E ast C hina S ea - Hui Yu Li; Jian Zhong Ling; Li Ping Yan; Jia Hua Cheng; Fen Hu (Marine Ecology, 2016)
The feeding habits of the mud shrimp Solenocera melantho were studied in the East China Sea by analysing 720 stomach contents and comparing diet composition and prey diversity among seasons, sexes and size classes. Feeding activity was linked to season and ovarian condition. The stomach fullness was high during spring and summer and low in fall. Females with advanced ovaries also displayed low stomach fullness, which suggests that feeding activity is affected by the reproductive cycle. The diet of S. melantho consisted of 42 different prey categories, primarily smaller crustaceans, Foraminifera, polychaetes, mollusks and fishes (larvae and eggs). Crustacea,Foraminifera and polychaetes together constituted the dominant prey groups, accounting for 75% of total prey abundance and >50% of total prey occurrence. Diet composition differed among seasons between sexes and size classes. Females and males consumed the same prey items but with different orders of importance. In terms of body size, the small shrimps preferred relatively small food items, such as Foraminifera and algae, whereas larger shrimps preferred polychaetes and crustaceans. Trophic diversity varied among the seasons within both sexes and size classes, with the highest values being observed in fall.

Aim To investigate how ecosystem water‐use efficiency ( WUE ) varies spatially under different climate conditions, and how spatial variations in WUE differ from those of transpiration‐based water‐use efficiency ( WUE t ) and transpiration‐based inherent water‐use efficiency ( IWUE t ). Location Global terrestrial ecosystems. Methods We investigated spatial patterns of WUE using two datasets of gross primary productivity ( GPP ) and evapotranspiration ( ET ) and four biosphere model estimates of GPP and ET . Spatial relationships between WUE and climate variables were further explored through regression analyses. Results Global WUE estimated by two satellite‐based datasets is 1.9 ± 0.1 and 1.8 ± 0.6 g C m −2 mm −1 lower than the simulations from four process‐based models (2.0 ± 0.3 g C m −2 mm −1 ) but comparable within the uncertainty of both approaches. In both satellite‐based datasets and process models, precipitation is more strongly associated with spatial gradients of WUE for temperate and tropical regions, but temperature dominates north of 50° N . WUE also increases with increasing solar radiation at high latitudes. The values of WUE from datasets and process‐based models are systematically higher in wet regions (with higher GPP ) than in dry regions. WUE t shows a lower precipitation sensitivity than WUE , which is contrary to leaf‐ and plant‐level observations. IWUE t , the product of WUE t and water vapour deficit, is found to be rather conservative with spatially increasing precipitation, in agreement with leaf‐ and plant‐level measurements. Main conclusions WUE , WUE t and IWUE t produce different spatial relationships with climate variables. In dry ecosystems, water losses from evaporation from bare soil, uncorrelated with productivity, tend to make WUE lower than in wetter regions. Yet canopy conductance is intrinsically efficient in those ecosystems and maintains a higher IWUE t . This suggests that the responses of each component flux of evapotranspiration should be analysed separately when investigating regional gradients in WUE , its temporal variability and its trends.
